Mangalore Buns Recipe
" Mangalore - Udupi " these names are often referred together, so they are just like siblings. Earlier both these places were in the same district but now they are segregated as Dakshina Kannada and Udupi districts respectively. Today I am posting "Buns" recipe which is popular as "Mangalore Buns" though it is the dish of both Udupi and Mangalore. It is another evening tea time snack prepared with overripe bananas and all purpose flour. Unlike crispy puris these Mangalore Buns or Banana Puris are spongy and sweet.
Today I thought of this recipe just because I had many overripe bananas at home otherwise I am not fond of sweet snacks. Goli baje is prepared more often at my home than this!!. Give a try for this recipe.
Mangalore Buns/Banana Puris Recipe
Ingredients
Overripe Bananas-1Maida-1 cup
Sugar-3 tbsp
Baking soda-1/2 tbsp
Yoghurt- 5 tbsp
Salt to taste
Cumin seeds-3/4 tbsp
Serves
This measurement yields 10-12 buns Preparation
- Peel bananas and squeeze it in to paste in a vessel. Do not attempt to grind bananas instead use your hand and make smooth banana paste. Add salt, cumin seeds, yoghurt, sugar, baking soda and mix it well so that sugar gets dissolved in it. Now add maida spoon by spoon as the maida gets absorbed by the paste. Do not attempt to add maida all together, but add it incrementally to arrive at dough like chapati/puri dough. The dough should be of consistency as shown in below picture.
- Keep it aside for 4 to 5 hours so that the dough gets fermented. If possible you can keep it overnight.
Method
- Once the fermented maida dough is ready, make small balls (golf ball sized) from the maida dough and roll out each one in to small puri using chapti roll. The rolled out puri shaped dough should be thick, do not roll it out too thin. The thickness should be twice as that of puri.
- Heat oil in a frying pan and deep fry the rolled out buns dough.Fry out until buns turns brown in color both sides.
- Now Mangalore Buns/Banana puris are ready to be served with chutney. These can also be consumed without chutney.
